Sometimes, the simplest gestures can mean far more than we realise. ๐Ÿ’š

Through our ongoing partnership with Utilita, we recently received a generous donation of clothing for young people supported by Bedspace.

And it was brilliant to see that generosity in action, with several young people proudly wearing their new T-shirts at a recent Arts and Crafts session.

For young people who may have experienced significant disruption and uncertainty, something as simple as receiving something new that has been given especially for them can help them feel valued, included and thought about.

The smiles and genuine gratitude said it all.

A huge thank you to everyone at Utilita and Utilita Bowl who helped make the donation possible. We really value our ongoing partnership and the difference gestures like this can make to the young people we support. ๐Ÿ’š

This October, we're joining communities and organisations across the UK in celebrating Black History Month.

The theme for 2026 is 'Honouring Our Communities', recognising the Black individuals whose everyday contributions help shape, support and strengthen communities across Britain.

Throughout the month, we'll be encouraging our Bedspace community to look closer to home, discover the history around them, take part in events within their communities and share the people, organisations and resources they believe deserve greater recognition.

With our teams working across towns and cities throughout the UK, it's also an opportunity to learn even more about the communities we are a part of every day.

It was brilliant to welcome young people and staff from across Bedspace to Witton Albion vs Congleton Town on Saturday for an afternoon of football, food and matchday experiences.

For some of the young people attending, it was a chance to experience the atmosphere of a live football match, enjoy the day with others and be part of something happening in the local community. ๐Ÿ’™

Moments like these are exactly why weโ€™re excited about our partnership with Witton Albion in the Community and the opportunities it can create for young people beyond matchday.

A big thank you to everyone who came along, and to all our colleagues who made it possible for young people to attend. โšฝ๏ธ๐ŸŸ๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œIโ€™ve never been to a theme park before. I loved all the rides and I wasnโ€™t scared at all!โ€

Around 20 young people from across our Manchester Outreach, Manchester Residential and Preston services recently came together for a brilliant day at Alton Towers! ๐ŸŽข

For some, it was their first ever theme park experience, while others were excited to return and take on even more rides than before.

Another young person shared:
๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œI met a new friend. My favourite ride was Oblivion, it was so high!โ€

From taking on Oblivion and Nemesis to enjoying the arcades, the day was a great opportunity to try something different, spend time together and make some brilliant memories.

A huge thank you to Quasim (Wolverine Estates), Austin (Real Estates), Ali (Repair Man), Saj (Kingston Interiors) and Jason, whose generous donations helped fund the trip and make the day possible.

And, of course, thank you to all our colleagues who helped organise the trip and made sure everyone had a fantastic time! ๐Ÿ™Œ

โšฝ 5 days to go!

This Saturday, the Bedspace Trust Community Stadium will welcome colleagues, young people and partners for another afternoon at Witton Albion, but matchday is only one part of what weโ€™re looking forward to.

Our partnership with Witton Albion in the Community gives us a platform to bring people together, introduce young people to new experiences and, over time, open doors to training, skills development and vocational opportunities.

Weโ€™re excited to see those plans develop and to get more young people involved as the partnership grows.

For now, weโ€™re looking forward to a great afternoon at the stadium when Witton Albion take on Congleton Town this Saturday, 26th September. ๐ŸŸ๏ธโšฝ

The match is getting closer, but weโ€™re even more excited about what comes next. ๐Ÿ’™

From garden to plate! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”

A rainy evening wasnโ€™t going to stop burger night for young people at our Leeds service!

Originally planned as a BBQ, the evening moved indoors, but there was something particularly special about the meal. The burger toppings had been planted and grown in the garden by the young people themselves, along with the potatoes used to make the chips! ๐Ÿฅ”

With support from the team, everyone got involved in chopping, preparing and cooking the meal. It also created a great opportunity to talk about what September has in store, with young people sharing plans including searching for engineering apprenticeships and starting a Level 3 Business course at college!

This is a brilliant example of how everyday activities can bring together practical skills, independence and conversations about the future.

Well done to everyone involved in Leeds, and we hope the home-grown chips tasted as good as they looked! ๐Ÿ‘

Weโ€™re incredibly proud to celebrate our growing partnership with Witton Albion in the Community, including the official renaming of Witton Albionโ€™s home as the Bedspace Trust Community Stadium. ๐ŸŸ๏ธ

But this partnership is about much more than a name...

Together, weโ€™ll be working to create new opportunities for young people and the wider community, from community engagement and matchday experiences to developing training and vocational pathways that can make a lasting difference.

We will be kicking off our celebrations on Saturday 26th September, where Witton Albion welcome Congleton Town to the Bedspace Trust Community Stadium, alongside the amazing people we support, colleagues and partners invited to be part of the matchday experience!

Weโ€™re excited to see where this partnership takes us and what we can achieve together, both on and off the pitch. ๐Ÿ’™โšฝ

Ahead of International Day of Charity tomorrow, we want to recognise some of the brilliant fundraising efforts that have taken place across the Bedspace community this year! ๐Ÿ’™

From walking and cycling to trekking, hair donations and personal fundraising challenges, colleagues, their families and the young people we support have put their time, energy and determination behind causes that mean something to them.

๐ŸŒŸ Jennifer took on 100km in March in support of Alder Hey Children's Charity.
๐Ÿฅพ Debbie from our Leeds team took on a 20-mile Trek Together challenge for Sands, raising money for a charity with an incredibly personal significance to her.
๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ 9-year-old Lila, daughter of our Liverpool Team Leader Tom, donated her hair and fundraised for The Little Princess Trust, helping the charity provide real-hair wigs to children and young people experiencing hair loss.
๐Ÿƒ Kirsty from Leeds took on a fundraising challenge for Cancer Research UK (CRUK) throughout August.
๐Ÿšด Karl from our Liverpool office has been cycling throughout August for Prostate Cancer UK, taking on a 200-mile challenge to support lifesaving research and families affected by prostate cancer.
โค๏ธ Louise from our Sefton team is currently fundraising for Cash for Kids, continuing an incredible history of supporting good causes through challenges including an abseil at Liverpool FC and Kip on the Kop.
โ›ฐ๏ธ Carlie from our Children's Home Team took part in the Ultra Challenge in the Lake District fundraising for the NSPCC.

And we're particularly proud to celebrate T (pictured below), a young person supported by Bedspace, who recently fundraised for the Little Princess Trust and received certificates recognising their fantastic fundraising achievement. ๐Ÿ‘

Every mile, donation, challenge and conversation helps these organisations continue the incredible work they do.

If you're able to, International Day of Charity is a great opportunity to learn more about and support some of the charities our Bedspace community has been fundraising for:
๐Ÿ’™ Alder Hey Children's Charity
๐Ÿงก Sands - baby loss charity
๐Ÿ’œ The Little Princess Trust
๐Ÿ’— Cancer Research UK
๐Ÿ’™ Prostate Cancer UK
โค๏ธ Cash for Kids
๐Ÿ’š NSPCC

A huge well done to everyone who has fundraised, donated, sponsored or supported a colleague this year. We're incredibly proud to see people across Bedspace getting behind causes that matter to them!

"I feel secure." ๐Ÿ’™

Sometimes the simplest feedback says the most.

The young people we support and staff recently came together at Liverpool Watersports Activity Centre for a Young Person Forum with a difference, combining the chance to have their say with aqua park inflatables, kayaking, paddle boarding and so much more! ๐ŸŒŠ

We asked everyone 2 important questions... "What do we do well?" and "What can we improve on?"

Their responses included:
๐Ÿ’ฌ "I feel secure."
๐Ÿ’ฌ "The support worker team is excellent."
๐Ÿ’ฌ "I love my Bedspace family."
๐Ÿ’ฌ "They support me every single time."
๐Ÿ’ฌ "Nothing, you are perfect."

Young people highlighted kind and supportive staff, help with education, health and independent living, confidence-building and activities as some of the things they value most.

They also gave us plenty to think about, including requests for more trips and activities, the idea of Bedspace football teams, and valuable feedback about ensuring our support continues to be individualised and neurodiversity-aware.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their views and to everyone who helped make such a positive day possible.

Listening to young people is an important part of how we continue to learn and improve, and judging by the feedback, more days like this would definitely be welcome! ๐Ÿ’™

Great partnerships start with great conversations! ๐Ÿ—ฃ

Recently, we welcomed colleagues from our Local Authority partners to our Liverpool office for a coffee morning, giving us the opportunity to showcase Bedspace's pathways and the support we provide to young people.

It was fantastic to be joined by Commissioning Officers, Social Work Directors, and Social Workers. The morning provided a valuable opportunity to share how we work alongside professionals to help young people build confidence, develop independence and create brighter futures.

The conversations didn't end there. Following the success of the event, we're looking forward to attending future Local Authority team meetings to continue strengthening our partnerships, share more about our pathways and explore how we can work even more closely together. ๐Ÿค

A huge thank you to everyone who attended! By building strong relationships and working collaboratively, we can continue delivering the best possible outcomes for the young people we support.
